- Suggested, supervised and applied Design Thinking best practices for structured, user-centered problem-solving and innovation.- Facilitated team coordination, goal tracking, and timely project delivery with project managers.- Managed payroll, budget, and spending reports, ensuring compliance with institutional policies.- Coordinated logistics for stakeholder meetings, securing venues and maintaining project timelines.- Contributed to the software development of a high-resolution prototype for Coomeva’s new digital cooperative voting system.

- Led user-centric requirements elicitation with the therapeutic team to identify user pain points.- Designed system architecture, developed API endpoints using FastAPI, and migrated from a Java Springboot legacy codebase.- Ensured system reliability through unit tests, integration tests and Docker containerization.- Integrated AI functionalities via OpenAI API to enhance children’s learning with automated media generation.

- Reviewed 20+ academic papers on state-of-the-art polarization measures for model development.- Developed a visualization tool for polarization measures and proposed the notion of belief embeddings for networks –high-dimensional vectors representing the belief systems of agents within a network–, useful for modeling of ideological dynamics.- Traveled to École Polytechnique in Paris to present research progress and refine methodologies.

- Conducted benchmarking of 26 global projects, identifying success factors in promoting STEM education.- Led qualitative research at 10+ schools in Cali, engaging 100+ stakeholders to uncover key insights that explained the lack of interest in STEM careers in the region.- Developed and validated 7 preliminary prototypes over two months using user-centered design methodologies.- Designed STEMfinity, a direct-to-consumer (DTC) subscription service providing STEM kits to children aged 8-12.- Delivered 24 progress reports and final project deliverables to the advisory board, and represented the project at the SUGAR Expo in San Francisco, USA.
